Movie and tv review.
The Dead Don't Die. A fun zombie movie. 2.5 hobbits
Picket Fences, episode , Be My Valentine. 1993. 3.5 hobbits
I watched this series when it first aired, so long ago it was on a crt that had a cabinet and legs.
I remembered this particular episode as being one of the few shows that gives me that creepy feeling you get when you see someone or see a situation that is truly psychopathic and dangerous. I wondered what it was about this that made it like that.
Firstly, this series is about life in a mid western town , how eccentrics and life challenges are found every where, not just the cities. The show looks bright , lots of sunshine, indoors are always well lit, wide open outdoor spaces. Unlike city shows that are dark by comparison. This is what makes the scary episode stand out from the other soap opera episodes.
Why is it scary. Really good actors as the scary guys. Really good. The set up was long and the twist unexpected. The scary moment was the reveal that the guys were not "normal yet violent', but were scheming and sadists, laughing and enjoying the fear and pain of their victims. Did I say really good actors? These guys were intense.
How is it tv actors are different to movie actors?
Thank you for reminding me about Picket Fences. Totally forgot about it!
YW. It's a David Kelley show so you know it's going to be good and it's on Disney+
DDD is what happens when you stop beating film students up in pub carparks. I was really disappointed in that, and I have a high tolerance for jimbo's self indulgence.
